What Is The Default Text Editor For Mac
How do I open a file my script generated with the default GUI editor with bash? On OS X there is the command open, but as far as I know that doesn't exist on linux.What is a good cross-platform alternative?
The default is currently TextEdit. I want to change it to be MacVim.

- If you want to use nano as your editor for all things command line, add this to your bash_profile: export EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano. This is assuming you're using the system nano.
I know how to set files that end with a certain extension, such as .txt, to always open with MacVim (I do this by selecting a file with the extension .txt, pressing command-i, and selecting Open with: Application, Change All...), but I also want text files without extensions, such as README, to open with MacVim by default.

You can't because it can't determine enough information about the file (other then it lacks an extension) to reliably alter that.
